shift_: Played music in the gym today for over an hour and a half and didn't loose a percent. Not on CM6 of course.

I still can't figure out why CM6 has that terrible music battery drain. You would think that it is controlled in the kernel but no matter what kernel I used back when I was on CM6 the results were the same. Then you'd think maybe it was a specific player but no matter what player I used I had the same results. What the hell? Frustrating because I would love to come back to CM6.

Have you discussed this with your Snap homeys? I know Cyanogen basically ignored you when you tweeted him about it and according to my research, the drain has been around for a long time so I don't see it being corrected soon. You think jmx could look into it?

I've been out of the CM6 loop for about a week now. Why do the most recent nightlies say FULL on them? Anything I'm missing?

nothing they just changed how its named
[EVO 4G General] remailednet:
nevermind.
[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
Is there an issue logged in the issue tracker for the music battery drain? I did a search a few days ago and couldn't find one in there. If so, we can all star it so it may get some attention. If not, someone who has done some significant testing can submit one. I don't listen to a lot of music otherwise I would do it.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
i saw one submitted for the nexus one, but i guess i'll submit one. i can't do it right now, but maybe later this weekend.

Camcorder broke in new nightly. When I record video it just locks up. And force closes
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
has anyone lost the ability to get incoming texts and voice mail notification in these recent new nightlies?

I didnt realize how many incoming texts and voice mails I had missed the last few days until I flashed a sense ROM last night, and got tons of incoming old texts and voicemail notifications....Not good...
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
crap, i missed your post.

i'm trying to figure it out myself. i'll ask j again. i remember talking to him about it, but i don't remember what came out of the discussion. i'll see what i can do. it's truly frustrating indeed. :(
[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
We're talking about battery drain while using the evo as a music player, not battery drain in general.

Here is one issue logged for the droid with poor battery life while playing music. It may be helpful to submit one with the evo with specific comparisons to a stock rom.

Why can't I send mms video that isn't even 30 sec long. That's on mms setting as well. I have tried the mms 5mb tweak. And it did nothing. Had this problem on all cm6 roms. No problem on sense
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
No, this is not an issue. Try a fresh install then test, I'm sure its not the rom
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
I hate how the new nightlys still show a 9/30 build, its confusing
[EVO 4G General] ronron23:
Anybody else's 102 build have a home button that doesn't work?
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
that's not the rom. your phone may be physically broken

Just flashed 102 overtop 9-26 and holey cow! Smooth, fast and the camera is quick as heck!!!! NICE

EVO Powered!!!
[EVO 4G General] ronron23:
It could have been mapped wrong. It was just working before I flashed it. Edit-nandroid restored and it works
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
noticed this too
[EVO 4G General] ronron23:
Does your home button work. It didn't work for me. And its working now that I nandroid restored to an earlier nightly
[EVO 4G General] Bizdady:
I want the hdpi gapps correct?
[EVO 4G General] HDRules:
You are correct - hdpi for hi-res phones like the Evo.
[EVO 4G General] nicholaaaas:
well it works for me so it's not the rom
[EVO 4G General] ronron23:
Well I flashed it a few times and now it seems to work. Weird
[EVO 4G General] lafrad:
Home button works just fine.
[EVO 4G General] Kykiskly:
Is anyone having issue with WIFI waking up on its own? I turn off my and keeps coming back on by itself.

Is this a known issue? Could it be any apk I have?

BTW, I was on the Setp 30th Built and had to restore to the 20th, but still happening?
[EVO 4G General] IOInterrupt:
I had this same problem after installing the latest radio combo. I had to install a sense rom, update PRL and Profile. Then I installed the latest CM6 by doing a factory reset, clearing cache, clearing dalvik, and flashing the latest CM6 and gapps.
[EVO 4G General] Bizdady:
Hmmm installed latest nightly and flashed latest gapps abner stock browser not working. Anyone else having probs? Skyfire works fine.

Edit: Fixed! restored browser from a previous titanium, works good again!

Sent from my Evo CM6
[EVO 4G General] mrmylanman:
I'm not sure, I have had a bunch of issues with WiFi not working right in CM6 nightlies as well as the final. Mostly the issue is it disconnects from the AP even though I have it set to never go to sleep.

I'm on a Sense ROM to see if I have similar issues in the meantime.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
mine use to disconnect, but recently even when I go to sleep it will still be connected to my wifi when I wake up 8 hours later where none of the finals or release candidates would do that.
[EVO 4G General] Kykiskly:
Well mine is crazy, must say. I turned off the WIFI and it comes back on right away, it doesnt even sit off for a while, so basically, I have wifi always on, and scanning on top of that. it is eating my battery :(

So this is what I did, went back to Cyan 6.0 Final and restored all my apps using Titanium backup and saw the same behavior, then i started uninstalling those most recent apps and found out related to WIFI Power saver. I removed it and walla, WIFI went off. I will wait a few more hours and see if that was the real cause of it.
[EVO 4G General] TheDave1022:
I flashed the Full101 friday night. Yesterday I had it docked in my car in landscape mode. I ran navigation and had a random reboot. My phone went into a reboot loop until I pulled it out of the dock.

Last night, I had it docked again and had slingbox playing, and same results. Reboot. Came back up, would reboot as soon as I touched the phone. A few times I got it back into the phone, launched nav or slingbox and reboot again.

I dont know if the issue is because of latest Launcher Pro or cm nightly. Going to flash latest and see if I still have the problem.
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
#102 is working perfectly with snap 7.6 for me
[EVO 4G General] mrmylanman:
Update: Yeah still having problems. So I guess it is either related to my AP or my phone itself. I guess I'll see how it behaves at works as well.
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:

Bluetooth Battery on 10/1

I am running the 10/1 nightly and if I have Bluetooth turned on my phone runs at 100% awake time.

Also, it has turned itself off a couple of times and I had to pull the batter to get it to start.
[EVO 4G General] galt:
Ditto the freeze requiring a battery pull on what I think was the 100 or 101 build (or both). Just flashed the 103 to see if it persists.
[EVO 4G General] OgremustCrush:
T

The bluetooth thing isn't new, its been happening since before rc2.

Posted by my rooted EVO 4G
[EVO 4G General] MSmith1:
If you want to use Bluetooth or play music, CM6 is not the right rom for you. No shots, these are just the facts. So before you even flash it, you should know that doing both will murder your battery.
[EVO 4G General] posguy99:
Then 101, 102, and 104 should as well, since there have been no code changes since the 30th.
[EVO 4G General] posguy99:
For you. Myself, I'll go on using CM6 on my phone, using Music Mod to play my music each morning and night on my commute on the train.

Don't speak in absolutes.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
extensive testing done with playing local music on cm6 drains a lot of battery; too much, in fact, when compared to sense. this has been confirmed quite a number of times. i highly doubt you have a special cm6 build that doesn't do that. you're simply not noticing it probably because your battery life is still within acceptable bounds by you.
[EVO 4G General] posguy99:
There's nothing to "fix". How many times do people have to answer this tired old saw?

1) Many CDMA networks do not auto-split over-length messages.

2) The AOSP SMS application does not auto-split over-length messages either.

You do not have control over the network side. You have control over the application side. Your choices therefore reduce to:

3) Replace the AOSP SMS application with one that WILL auto-split over-length messages. Right now, that seems to be just Handcent (shudder).

4) Create and submit the necessary patch for the AOSP application to enable it to auto-split over-length messages.

The *only* thing that could be considered a bug here is that the AOSP application does not reject over-length messages, and instead tries to send them.
[EVO 4G General] MSmith1:
Except these are absolute facts.

If you are getting what you consider satisfactory battery life than that is very good for you. The fact is though, CM6 drains more battery while playing music than a sense based rom. Also, using Bluetooth creates a wakelock and kills your battery. Again, these are documented absolute facts. No need to get defensive. No shots here. Just providing facts.

Trust me, I wish I was absolutely wrong because then I could come back to CM6 but I use my Evo as a music player a lot and I just got Bluetooth in the car so this is unfortunatley not an option for me.
[EVO 4G General] mrmylanman:
Ouch, yeah I have bluetooth in my car as well and would love to use it, but the battery life is a killer.

We do all love CM6 in this thread though, or else we wouldn't be flashing the nightlies. Just that there is some improvement to be made :-P
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
i agree. msmith1 and i have been testing the music drain issue ever since the first nightlies and it really hasn't improved. we've seen issues with it for other devices, even saw a but tracker for the n1. i've been meaning to submit a bug in the issue tracker, but i'm currently tied up. sigh... :(
[EVO 4G General] mrmylanman:
I used my EVO for music some when I first got it (before CM6) and I noticed terrible battery life early on, but since I have an iPod classic from a long time ago I just went back to using that (it lasted a lot longer than my EVO ever lasted anyway). As much as I'm anti-Apple... it does work... lol.
[EVO 4G General] RichTJ99:
Is there any issue with Wifi tethering? I am back to CM after about a month on Fresh (playing with 4g in my area). I came back to see how it the rom is doing & I am finding i have an issue with tethering.

If i use the built in app, I see the androidtether network as a peer to peer (which I cant actually connect to) network. If I use the market wireless tether app, I can connect but i dont get an IP.

Either way it doesnt seem to work for me. I had no issues using Fresh's sense rom with wifi tether. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Is there more to setup than just turning it on?
[EVO 4G General] xcopmanx2:
He said mms, not sms.
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
101 is what im running now and its fine :eek:
[EVO 4G General] zonyl:
My wifi is open, has only one route to my server, and I use openvpn. Is that not true security?

My only issue is that CM6 cant seemingly deal with static ip so I have to run dhcp.
[EVO 4G General] zonyl:
Yyyyyyyyyy

Without the touchstone mod, I probably wouldn't be using this rom either as a daily driver. I picked up lot of touchstones for cheap on ebay and have them everywhere. When I am sitting my evo is nicely docked displaying various info on the screen (tasker!) and drinking power. I have one on my nightstand, car, work, travel kit, and even on my cat (jk?) :)
[EVO 4G General] DomSim:
bwahahahaha

ps, relevant to my interests as i cannot record a video over like 3-4 seconds and send it. this is with camcorder set to mms setting but just a few seconds is over the 2mb limit and no "5mb increase" mods will install on cm6
[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
People who care about the bluetooth wake issue should comment confirming that it is an issue for them, and should star the issue.

[EVO 4G General] live4vball:
Is anyone else having issues problems accessing the sound settings with 104? I get a force close every time I try to dive in.
[EVO 4G General] RichTJ99:
Sorry to keep asking this but is anyone else able to get WIFI tethering working? When I use the default app, my PC connects to the EVO but wont get an ip, it just shows its connected with no internet.

I tried wireless tether, and barnacle from the market. Nothing seems to work but it does work in sense.

Anyone have wireless tether working? I reflashed 104 twice.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
no issues here
[EVO 4G General] ctmay4:
I could not agree more. I can't believe more people don't complain about this. I absolutely LOVE CM6, but this bug stops it just short of perfection for me.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
hehe good catch. reading is fundamental ;)

have you tried a previous nightly build? it could be a bonked build. i haven't been too confident with the latest nightlies, hence why i'm still on 9/27.
[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
Well, I can get it to connect using the built-in wifi tether, but I have to let it sit for about a minute before the PC finally gets connected to the internet. It seems to connect right away, but says no internet connection for a while, but eventually connects. Also, when using the wireless tether app, I have trouble getting it to connect. One thing I do that helps is changing the wifi channel. It defaults to 6, but changing it to 1 seems to make it work well.
[EVO 4G General] RichTJ99:
I just installed CM6 final to check that & it doesnt work there either. Again, it does let me connect to the phone's wifi network, it just says there is no internet. I cant help but wonder if its something I am doing.

I cant imagine out of everyone running CM6 & nightlies that if it didnt work, there would be tons of posts about it (which there arent).
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
i agree, but, as we all know, not all evos are built equal. i didn't know anyone else besides out of a handful who had bad nand sectors, which didn't let us flash the kernels after cm 6.0 final.

but anyway, is it possible to get a logcat? see what's going on? maybe check your 3g signal as well, what's the db level?
[EVO 4G General] zergburger:

[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
So how is stability of the latest nightly?

--
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
for me, #104 has been the most stable nightly in a long long time
[EVO 4G General] crakerjaks:
Latest nightly still not up to par with latest fresh update in terms of battery life, any news on if or when cm6 team will implement that update fresh has?
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Never!!! cyanogen mod is build from source. HTC ota's never will be implement. Now whenever htc drops the newest kernel source they will use that.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Stable enough for a daily?
[EVO 4G General] amw1972:
thnx thnx!!
[EVO 4G General] mrmylanman:
I have found CM6 has by far better battery life than any Sense ROM I ever tested. I am also using Snap V 7.6 though, with Turbo enabled. For now I am trying without any SetCPU intervention, to see how it stacks up because I am not seeing any difference in performance versus being overclocked to 1.2GHz.

I'm on track to getting about 30 hours of battery life on the stock battery though. Might be worth looking in to, if you haven't yet.
[EVO 4G General] nicholaaaas:
fyi... they're always on there [not just to you... for everyone asking]

[EVO 4G General] wvcachi:
That happened to me before on previous builds. Not sure what caused it, but it only did it when I restored all apps with data via Titanium after flashing. I "fixed" it by wiping, reflashing, and restoring only missing apps with data.
[EVO 4G General] :
That's what she said;)

[EVO 4G General] nvous23:
This was the case for me when I was on CM6 Final but ever since I started installing nightly's about 2 weeks ago my battery life is REALLY bad. I am not OC'ing or using SETCPU or any other kernels.
[EVO 4G General] RichTJ99:
Finally got around to trying this out. Amazing, seriously, this is the killer music app for Android! I love it. My whole collection comes with me everywhere. Thanks for the recommendation.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
try recalibrating your battery, as well as using a wall charger to charge your battery.
[EVO 4G General] nvous23:
I will look into recalibrating my battery, I assume you are talking about this: http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/08/h...ry-and-possibly-double-your-battery-life.html I already use the wall charger, every night.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
and this:

[EVO 4G General] nvous23:
Is that the same as wiping battery stats in recovery ?
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
yep, that's correct.
[EVO 4G General] nvous23:
Between these two steps are you recharging it with the phone off or on?

Do not charge the phone until after draining the battery completely, resulting in it automatically shutting off.

Recharge the phone completely and then use as you normally would.

I have found that Bluetooth is my batter killer on the nightly builds. If it is on my phone is at 100% running so I just turn it on as needed.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
yea, i've said this in my battery tests as well (here, here, and here). keeping any radio on all the time drains the battery quite a lot, including 3g. i don't shut off 3g (i like being connected) unless i'm on wifi.
[EVO 4G General] nicholaaaas:

[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
I would try rebooting. I'm seeing over 40 with Linpack about once in every 10 tests (averaging between 38 and 39), and I am not overclocked. Oh, Snap (v5.11)!

*Cue laughter sign to compensate for lame joke*
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
LOL! are you sure you have the latest one? at the very least, since our evos are very similar, we should be getting somewhat similar results... :confused:

[EVO 4G General] sprocket87:
Using the new Linpack?

Quadrant?
[EVO 4G General] spiicytuna:
Wait snap was pulled into cm6? or am I not reading your edits correctly?

Yes. Need samples! :-) post, post, post!
[EVO 4G General] sprocket87:
Not if you go through Autostarts and remove them from auto-starting on any of the conditions that would normally make them restart (Locale change, connection change, etc).

Combine that with an auto task killer and believe me, they NEVER run :)
[EVO 4G General] sprocket87:
No, Snap is still separate. He was talking about the Froyo audio fixes I believe.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
thank you, kind sir. i believe i may have to flash a snap kernel soon. hopefully jmxp69 comes out with a new one based on last night's nightly.

most definitely! if this better bitrate and sharper recording continues to improve, i may very well have to pee on every single iphone 4 i come across.

and, yes, i was referring to the aac fix google pushed to the froyo line, that was pulled into cm6 last night. i'm guessing we'll see the fruits of that in tonight's build.
[EVO 4G General] Bears38:
New Linpack. Quadrant is at 1546.
[EVO 4G General] spiicytuna:

[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
hooooly crap.. ok, now i'm wondering whether or not i should go out on my date tonight and instead go home to flash and further test my phone :p ..hahaha

*fingers crossed*

my sentiments exactly...
[EVO 4G General] sprocket87:
Out of curiosity, since I'm such an OC virgin, does running at, say, 1152 really cook through the battery compared to stock voltage? Cuz mine already sucks :D
[EVO 4G General] xcopmanx2:
Nooooo. Go on the date. The build will be here when you get back, hopefully you get back quite late. ;)
[EVO 4G General] sprocket87:

Have you changed your LCD density? I was getting crashes whenever I tried calling somebody, or changing which area in the Skype app I was looking at (My Info and such). I set my LCD density back up to 240 to test it out, and Skype worked flawlessly. Of course, I am not going back to that density, so I have stopped using Skype, but I have found that is where the issue is for me.
